Can pdfplumber read URLs?

[petermr]

I'd like to be able to read the contents of a URL directly without downloading it as a file. How can this be done?
My initial approach will be:

b = BytesIO(response.content) 

and pass this to pdfplumber's open() , but I'd appreciate a working example.

It seems to work:

    def test_read_urls(self):
        url = "https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_SYR_SPM.pdf"
        response = requests.get(url)
        bytes_io = BytesIO(response.content)
        with pdfplumber.open(bytes_io) as f:
            pages = f.pages
            assert len(pages) == 40

I don't know whether this scales to very large PDFs and whether there are buffering issues, but this may be useful for others.
